Roasted Rosemary-Feta Potatoes
This savory baked dish is topped with fresh rosemary and tangy feta; it’s simply delicious!
Ingredients:
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves removed from stems and coarsely chopped
1½ pounds baby red potatoes, washed
½ cup feta cheese
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided into 3-tablespoon portions
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 450°. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the potatoes. Lay them on a foil lined baking sheet with the holes facing up. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over the potatoes and bake for 45 minutes.
2. Remove the potatoes and using a knife, cut an ‘x’ into each potato. Use a bottom of a clean mug to gently push down on the potatoes and lightly smash, exposing some of the cooked flesh. Season generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle the additional olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with the feta cheese and rosemary leaves. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve hot.
Roasted Red Peppers, Potatoes & Onions with Rosemary
This easy roasted side dish is fragrant with fresh rosemary.
Ingredients:
1-1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and sliced into halves (if smaller) or quarters (if large)
2-3 Bullhorn peppers, seeded and cut into large chunks
½ red onion, sliced into rounds
1 sprig rosemary, leaves removed and finely chopped
1-2 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil
½ teaspoon sweet paprika (optional)
Freshly-chopped parsley
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Using a large bowl, toss vegetables in oil and spices to coat evenly. Place potatoes, peppers, onion, and rosemary in a baking dish large enough for vegetables to spread out into a single layer. (Don’t crowd, or the vegetables won’t have a chance to crisp and brown. If necessary, divide the vegetables onto two baking sheets.)
2. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring once or two during roasting, until potatoes are pierced easily with a fork. Remove from the oven, drizzle with about a teaspoon of olive oil and garnish with the fresh parsley.

¼ cup gorgonzola dolce cheese
2 tablespoons honey
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Mashed Potatoes with Duxelles
These decadent potatoes are mixed with mushroom duxelles for a satisfying finishing touch.
Ingredients:
1½ pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and scrubbed
½-¾ cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup crème fraîche or sour cream
¾ cup F&L mushroom duxelles
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Method:
1. In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn’t boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
3. As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or large heavy-duty fork until thoroughly mashed. Stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough crème fraîche or sour cream to make the potatoes soft and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix in the duxelles. Serve immediately, or to keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes.
